Handles migrations well and has reduced our downtime
For small databases that are less than a terabyte, GoldenGate handles the migration well. You don't need much input so long as the processes don't upend. As soon as there's a problem, then, obviously, you need to diagnose it. It all depends on the scenario, on the size of the databases, whether you're doing schema replication, or table replication. We normally do the whole database, taking everything across. Finally, because this is an Oracle product, there is support available 24/7.

Handles large volumes of data with ease, but the self-service portal must be more user-friendly
My advice depends on an organization’s needs. If an organization has a large volume of data, Delphix is a good choice. It is robust and very efficient with large volumes of data and different kinds of databases. If someone is looking for a one-stop solution with all features and capabilities, they must consider a different tool. Overall, I rate the product a six or seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"This is a powerful solution provided by one of the most respected companies in the computer industry."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle GoldenGate is its ability to sync data in real-time, which is crucial for me."
"This solution provides us with real-time replication and it does not affect the performance of other operations, which is very important to us."
"When we are replicating data between similar databases then it is straightforward."
"The solution's existing SaaS platform for data integration gives us an edge."
"Since the world is going towards open source, the solution's heterogeneous data migration feature is very useful."
"What I have found the most valuable about GoldenGate is that it does real-time and no-downtime migrations. Its migrations are fast. There are not many tools like it on the marketplace."
"Ease of installation, maintenance and powerful outputs and supporting Big Data and Cloud environment as well as OGGCS (Oracle Golden Gate Cloud Service)."
"It's really easy to install."
"Delphix's technical support is fairly knowledgeable."
"Delphix interfaces are simple to use and very user friendly."
"It provides the ability to roll back to a point in time or roll forward without the assistance of a DBA."
"The product is efficient in handling large volumes of data."
"The solution's most valuable feature is data cloning."
"Delphix can do data masking in any format. Not many solutions can do that."
"The performance offered by the product, its price, and its ability to handle structured and unstructured data were good when compared to the other products in the market."
 

Cons

"The solution's licensing price is very expensive and could be made more competitive."
"The front-end management isn't very good."
"It's stable but you have to know how to maintain it. That's why it's not 10 out of 10 for me. There are some bugs, there are some issues here and there. All of a sudden your process is not working and you have to figure out why, and sometimes it's not so clear."
"The solution's performance needs improvement."
"We struggle with memory. It's limited. However, it may be because of our unique business case and how we use it that it's limiting for us."
"A clean and user-friendly graphical interface based on common design principles would be beneficial."
"The solution costs a lot."
"It is not a very stable tool, and you need to monitor it perfectly."
"The solution's price needs improvement."
"It would be good if any CI/CD and DevOps-aligned feature could be triggered through the DevOps pipeline."
"Delphix could be improved with better usability and an agentless option."
"GUI could be improved."
"This product should be extended and made to be a more comprehensive storage solution."
"When it comes to unstructured and structured data, if Delphix can comply with the requirements for most of the structured data, it would be good, especially if it can include the data scanning part."
"One thing I would like to see improved is the unusual error messages we receive and some slowness we have while we are updating."
"My only complaint about this solution is the price."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Oracle GoldenGate is a high-priced solution because it follows the core-based pricing model versus the software-based pricing model of other solutions."
"The tool is a bit expensive."
"The return on investment would make it a worthwhile deal."
"We have an enterprise license for it. It might be for three years or so. I'm not aware of any additional costs to the standard licensing fee."
"The one feature that I think Oracle could perhaps consider is, at the moment, the Veridata option is an extra cost. Golden Gate is an expensive product. You pay a lot for the best. But not including the Veridata license to prove that everything is working correctly... The big improvement for me would be to have that license built in. That would take it to the next level. That would make it a much better product. You may want to look at buying term licenses if you've just got a single migration to do. In that situation, you might want a term license for perhaps a year to save a lot of money, rather than buying a perpetual license."
"We do like the price of this solution."
"Pricing is based on anual licensing with additional costs for support packages."
"Its price can be better. It is a bit crazy, and its licensing is very difficult to understand. I would rate it one out of five in terms of pricing. There don't seem to be any additional costs."
"I would say the price is a little high but affordable for our needs."
"The solution's pricing was reasonable and lower than one million."
"The cost is $370K annually for the Delphix Masking Engine and Delphix Virtualization Engine."
"I rate the product price seven to eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is the low price, and ten is the high price."
"It is an expensive solution."
"The product is a little bit expensive."
"Delphix's pricing is affordable."
